5/10 publish announcement to US Test Server

NOTE: This is a list of potential changes for Lineage. There is the possibility that these items will not be published to the US servers as they are listed here, or that they might not be published at all. The changes listed here are still in testing, and are subject to change or removal from the list.

A bug has been fixed involving restarting after death and the items: Elven Short Sword of Constitution, Elven Short Sword of Dexterity, Elven Short Sword of Magic Power.
Fixed a targeting problem with the fog in the Lair of Valakas.
Poison will no longer give a penalty to the caster if it is cast upon a “pink” flagged player.
Ghast’s poison now removes Ghoul’s poison, meaning if you are poisoned by a Ghoul, and then by a Ghast, that the Ghast’s poison will remove/overwrite the Ghoul’s poison effects.
Dogs which are over level 25 will now have one hour haste effect after every time they achieve the next level.
Fixed a bug that prevented Elves from shooting arrows properly.
Players can now destroy items from the interface by dragging them into the trash can (trash can on the item window) or by hitting the delete key on the item. This method will not destroy entire stacks of items. Multiple items selected with the shift key will not be destroyed all at once, but rather one at a time.
Scroll of Identify will now identify a dog’s name and level when used on a dog collar.
Tamed and summoned monsters will have a Hit Point bar over their head.
AC bonus modifier based upon Dexterity:
Players should receive an additional 1 AC point at the following levels:

DEX gain -1 AC

7 - 9 every 8 levels

10 - 12 every 7 levels

13 - 15 every 6 levels

16 - 17 every 5 levels

18 every 4 levels
Players can no longer drag and drop items to an NPC.
When auto-looting, pets and summoned monsters will now drop items over the limit allowed in their inventory. Thus if a pet is at ‘full’ inventory and tries to pick up additional items, it will drop any those items to the ground.

Other than that, sweet update!

and this:
'Dogs which are over level 25 will now have one hour haste effect after every time they achieve the next level.'

What happens above 18 dex? is that the limit or can you gain ac faster with dex greater than 18? Think about it...dex bow and BOE, that's 2 more to put you at 20. Then lvl 50 bonus...but if every 4 levels is the limit then there's no point.

I think it's dependent on your base dex. So items and the dex spell would have no affect on what ac you have.
It would be nice tho' - My elf can get up to 25dex I think. What's the ac every 1/2lvl? ;)

they'll have to fix it if there's a lv 51 dex elf putting a point to dex o.o
..the dex/ac bonus is based on base dex, which is from what your character starts with the stats in creating the character

anyhow...the % loss upon death is still the best one ever ^^

#18 Someone needed to say it Preebs. ^_^ Now things will be quiet until they have something else to whine about.
#31 You're already getting enough AC from this Update. AShut your mouth and take what you've got.

So basically, -5x AC will be about as common as -4x AC was, and -6x AC will be as common as -5x was.

It said the update would go in on the 10th and that it may or may not make it to the regular servers. So naturally people are wondering where the update is.

By the way... "its no yet on test server"? Damn, you got some nerve calling other people stupid.
